What is recorded here

Killaleigh Castle is a four-storey Z-plan fortress in North Tipperary, dated 1601, where two diagonal limestone towers still face each other across an open throat of air. The O'Connors built it during violent years, giving the entrance a murder-hole and the walls gun ports, yet they also raised tall chimney stacks and a beautiful stone staircase that remains intact. Later owners softened the house with wooden stairs and vaulted roofs, but the defensive shape endures, forcing anyone who enters to remember that comfort and fear shared the same rooms.
